Wallet-Emptying Moleskine Multi-Pack. Verdict? Gorgeous

The people behind Moleskine, not content with the $20 they manage to get in exchange for a blank notebook, have come up with a new money-making scheme, a way to part us poor, fashionable fools with even more of our cash.

A grand product deserves a grand name, and the $40 Moleskine 2010 Color A Month Daily Planner Volant Box Setdelivers. It consists of twelve of the softcover Volant notebooks, tiny, slim pamphlets of just 54 pages each which normally come in sets of two, delivered in a box also equipped with all the stickers and bookmarks the obsessive organizer could want.

As you can see from the opening lines of this post, I fully intended to mock this overpriced wad of paper and thin, smooth, perfectly textured card, but I can't. The strong stationery fetish that all geeks harbor within themselves has been drawn out and now I want to buy this full set, even though I almost never set pen to paper anymore. Just look at those colors!

I'll leave quietly now, while I still have a little pride left intact. I'll see you all over at the Amazon Moleskine Store. Yes, there's an Amazon Moleskine Store.
